Jullian Escort French Easel is rated 4.75 out of 5 by 12.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Danthrplgst from Excellent ProductI bought the full sized easel about two years ago and it's still going strong. I wanted something that would be sturdy and where I could store most of my art supplies as I live in a smaller space. This easel fit the bill perfectly. I keep tubes of oil paint, a small stack of Soho cleaning napkins (they are the ones that fit into the Soho cleaning system) and brushes in the upper tray and I keep additional paint tubes, small bottles of Gamsol, medium and linseed oil in the bottom areas along with some extra brushes, painting knives and other odds and ends. This easel makes having a small, working studio anywhere very easy. I'm not a professional artist and this was my first easel, so I don't have a point of reference for comparison but as a product for the beginning artist or someone who just needs to keep their art supplies in a small space this easel is great.Set up was very easy but a little clumsy because of the weight and size of a fully packed easel. In fact, the one complaint I do have about this easel is the weight of it. Empty it's pretty heavy but even more so when filled (obviously). I have brought it into the field several times on plein air outings and it has performed as expected. One of the things I really like is the ease in which I can take my studio with me on car trips. I just toss it in the backseat with my backpack and go. The construction is solid, as I said I haven't had any issues with it. Overall...its a great product that does as advertised.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great easel for away from home and studiI ordered the Jullien French Escort Easel after much internet research and product comparison, often between identical items. It came down to price and quality. The price was one of the lowest I found. This product can sell for as much as four times the price I paid. Research pays! I received the easel in good order within the promised delivery time, and the setup, although there were no instructions, was quite simple. I must admit I had viewed many videos on setting up a French easel on the internet prior however. The easel came fully assembled. It can be used as a table top easel or with a chair/stool when the legs are folded up, or while standing when the legs are extended. All hardware is good quality brass and the hardwood box was oiled while the included mahogany palette was varnished. I would suggest that the new owner sand and apply multiple coats of varnish to the palette if not using palette paper. The finish it comes with will collect paint residue in the grain that shows through the varnish coats. This can be remediated with the application of several coats of varnish or the use of palette paper. The easel itself is well thought out. The main drawer locks closed when the upper lid is closed. When closed, the upper lid creates a void between it and the palette. The palette itself keeps all items in the drawer below from falling out. Two wood tabs on the inside connected to the lower sliders hold the palette in place during transport. The void between the palette and the lid is large enough to house a (dry) 10 x 17 canvas, reference books or in my case a brush wallet and pad of palette paper. I was able to slide in a thin piece of Masonite behind these tabs, (they could be shaved a bit on the top side as the fit was snug). Behind this added board, I keep reference photographs and a few other sheets of paper such as reference notes. The top drawer is metal lined with one long and two short dividers. I created a couple of additional spacers from stiff cardboard. The lower storage section straddling the single rear leg, is revealed when the lid opened. The easel can then be adjusted to hold a canvas. The top drawer slides forward, (it cannot slide out due to built-in stops*), and the palette removed. Below the top drawer, two deep sections offer adequate space for 1.5" bottles stored on their sides and longer items such as brushes. *The drawer can lift out from behind when it is in the closed position only. The canvas carry strap can also be used to hold a paper towel roll. (Thread the strap through the roll.) This easel is great for an artist who is moving up as opposed to a beginner, as it does not include a brush washer nor any other supplies. The beginner might be more interested in an easel that has some of these supplies included. As a note, the Mighty Mite Jr. brush washer can easily be accommodated in the lower storage unit, with 2.5 oz paint medium bottles. At the end of your paint session, your wet painting can be carried safely with the wet canvas carrier. I would highly recommend this easel for the artist who needs more space to carry their supplies, all in one place when they travel away from home or studio.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Prairieaire from Functional and easy to useI purchased this easel for a workshop and was a bit frustrated that a nut that was on the center leg extender was missing. I found a substitute in the small town but had to exchange it with a nut elsewhere on the easel for it to work. Luckily I still had the box and when I got home I found the nut in the bottom of the box. Overall, I liked the easel and the fact that I could adjust it to my size (short). It was easy to put together and is easily transported. I would buy it again.
